Feeling more productive yet?

With Wikipedia, reddit, Internet Archive (not yet down as of 9:21am ET), the lolcats over at Cheezburger, and others blacking out today to protest PIPA*--the US Senate's anti-piracy bill threatening free speech and innovation online--you may find yourself with some extra free time.

You could use these precious quiet moments to shake the petrified food out of your keyboard or redesign your email signature with ASCII or do actual work, but here's what we plan to do:

Watch all of YouTube, which would take approximately more hours than you have left to live. (Really.) Right now, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act only requires YouTube to pull down infringing videos; PIPA could put the entire site in danger.

Looking for reasons to support PIPA and SOPA?

I plan on watching a bunch of internet reviews. Nostalgia Critic, Cinema Snob, AT4W, Spoony, etc.
Just in case I can't, later.

Actually, the SOPA article is not blacked out on Wikipedia

I was going to congratulate you on posting an opposing opinion (without watching the video because I knew it would make me mad) when so many other sites end the argument with "it's bad don't like it" but then I noticed it was 6 seconds long. I watched. I laughed.
So instead I will repurpose my congratulations-for-something-others-aren't-doing for the examples of who would be affected by the new law, I haven't seen any other websites with that list and they really should have it.
And I'd like to congratulate you on posting something so blunt, clear and truthful.

AUGH! SOPA! I honestly never thought a four-letter word could be so evil!
